He Has Risen!

Very
early on the first day of the week, the women came to the tomb where
Jesus’ body was laid. They brought the spices they had prepared. 2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance of the tomb. 3 They went in, but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, two men in shining clothes suddenly stood beside them. 5 The
women were very afraid; they bowed their heads to the ground. The men
said to the women, “Why are you looking for a living person here? This
is a place for the dead. 6 Jesus is not here. He has risen from death! Do you remember what he said in Galilee? 7 He said that the Son of Man must be given to evil men, be killed on a cross, and rise from death on the third day.” 8 Then the women remembered what Jesus had said.9 The women left the tomb and told all these things to the 11 apostles and the other followers. 10 These
women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and some
other women. The women told the apostles everything that had happened at
the tomb. 11 But they did not believe the women. It sounded like nonsense. 12 But
Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He looked in, but he saw only the
cloth that Jesus’ body had been wrapped in. Peter went away to be alone,
wondering about what had happened.
